The multidimensionality of Ecophysiology in forests

Resumen

Objective: This study describes the multidimensionality and significance of ecophysiology in forests within the context of climate change.

Design/methodology/approach: A comprehensive review and classification of scientific articles indexed in the Google and Google Scholar repository was conducted. The focus was on articles related to the importance, functions, and history of ecophysiology, as well as its relationship with forests.

Results: Ecophysiological studies are fundamental for understanding how plants have evolved in response to environmental changes through centuries. Research in this discipline has increased significantly over the last decade, particularly concerning aspects of climate change.

Limitations on study/implications: This review relied exclusively on publications available in Google and Google Scholar. Findings/conclusions: Knowledge of forest ecophysiology is fundamental to predicting how plants undergo adaptations to future environmental changes, including the effects of climate change.
